Selfreflection. And small steps.

First find what you want to improve, for example your ability to scumread, ability to read gamestate, etc. Then think what you do right, what you do wrong and try improve on your mistakes

There have been games where I should have taken notes, but I still don’t think I ever have. >.>

That's a good idea to have their reads upon death and any possible crumbs. Generally never look for crumbs but that should be something I should do more. Interactions is also an important thing. The funny thing is, I've probably done more notes on *Everyone is Mafia Mafia* than actual mafia. Here's the excel sheet: Everyone is Mafia Mafia Excel Sheet

Reason why I post this is, it might be more optimal to use Excel for these things maybe if we go deep with it.

I had a lot of success back in 2018 just by requesting PTs to put my gut feelings into

It really helped me internalize what felt just off to me in games and likely contributed to a lot of the midgame solves I started hitting.

I’ve had games I’ve wanted to, but failed to, keep a spreadsheet of all the claims and stuff.

really
seriously.

When I started, I used to keep spreadsheets of every vote in the game, thinking I would amass a treasure trove for vote count analysis. It was a pain in the ass, and I stopped eventually.
